Home News From Far Away
Your WBNG news app helps me feel close to my family. I’ve lived far away for many years, as required by US Coast Guard duty stations and frequent moves. You help us, by making me aware of and able to talk with family about their local current events. This especially helped with my elderly Mom, who recently passed. She always watched and listened to your news and seemed to feel comforted when I knew what was going on in her neighborhood. Thank you for serving many of us in this way!!💙
Best School Closings App
App works fine but content is always outdated. If you’re looking for news from the last day or two, look elsewhere. School closings list is usually up to date and the only reason I keep the app.
Annunciation drills televised
Journalistic value top notch but presentation on the televised side is not helped by Michelle Roberts poor annunciation she’s truly painful to watch some mornings & trip over those multisylabic hurdles while ur sports anchor can deliver twice as much even more detailed information quicklier w/ ease comparatively!
What happened
Used to be a great app now there’s a notification every hour. Give it a rest!
Updating news on weekends.
Stale news on App. For example Monday morning the top story is a news story ftom Saturday.
News to WBNG 🥰👀
Stop bugging me!
App ok, content awful
Opened an article, and the first thing I saw was the town misspelled. Clicked the video link and there were FOUR ads before the video ran. And then the video was a totally different story than what it was supposed to be.
Fireman one
Love the coverage they provide- just a bit too liberal in many cases - as well as opinionated ..
Useless Notifications
I like to stay up to date on local news but when I set my notifications to “breaking” only and then get CONSTANT notifications about unimportant things, it’s very frustrating. Update this please.
Current events?
I look at this news app daily only to find “news” that has not been updated. For example this past weekend. The Friday news was the same until Monday. Nothing updated about Spiedi Fest/Balloon launching. No pictures? Since I don’t have FB, you offer this app for updated news, you fell short. This is the most recent example. School closings notices are always kept current… positive thing.

Owego’s Memorial Day Parade Organizer’s name wrong
How can you get Jim Raftis’ name wrong? Can’t your field reporters understand English or are they just deaf? I was taught to ask someone to spell a name I wasn’t familiar with before quoting them or about them.
Power outages
I went to WBNG app for the first time today. I was looking for information on the power outage. NOTHING was on the site about the power outage. So much for using my phone when there’s a power failure. Disappointing.
Not so hot
90% is old news some of the articles are weeks old some even more than that...not great...
Very good
I like the up to the minute reports on here all day as news stories happen
Lazy
Amazing how many of these stories are aided by AI descriptions, and never proofread, as each day I find 5-10 spelling mistakes on this app. But what do you expect from a news group which is more interested in video and image, rather than substance.
News
Very leftist reporting Too much Covid reporting
Format
I liked the former format of the news. You have little news and no obituaries.
WBNG’s Action News
Action news is a great source of information during my busy day’s routine. Thx!
Unhappy viewer
Why is this station so biased when news that’s reported should not be biased but I’m curious do you have to be a democrat to work for your station which I’m sure you have to be I’m so disappointed in your bias ways
WBNG low rated App
Very thin news App. Very limited news and information.
Weather report:
It is annoying when an incomplete weather forecast is given at one sitting. Please consider giving two complete reports, not just “teaser” report followed by a contuation report. 😀
Not that great
The app works fine. I haven’t found any issues there. The updated version seems like a step back in time. This app no longer has the news start when I open the app during those times, I have to click in a couple of places. At first I couldn’t find it. It’s a step in the wrong direction. Frustrating to use still.
News and sports
Very disappointed that the app doesn’t open and sports is inadaquent recently with local sports (new events) not present
Could be good.
It could be good but they only update it every few days
News 12 - Action News - Communications Centre 12
Grew up with WNBF/WBNG, Still terrific!
Disappointed
Every time I try to live stream from the app all I get is a 15 second UHS add. Th app will not let me a live stream the local news or weather I want to see.
To many pauses
Signal strength on tv is so low we have started streaming, but the pauses make you wonder if you have lost the stream.
Jerry
Not liking the new app, hard to navigate , generic and empty looking. Saddened that it could have been left alone .
Closings and delays
Why did it change? NOT convenient not to see all closings and delays listed at once and appears you have to ask individually. Why are all nicknames “taken” Have tried at least 4
Breaking News
Sometimes the breaking news articles are the same for days. In other times I guess I understand but during the current crisis, it seems like this should be updated more often.
BNG IS THE BEST!
Only local news & weather reports that I can rely to report accurately.
Old news
If you want weekend news you’ve come to the wrong place. Funny that their TV ads tout about how up to the minute they are. Very disappointing, not only WBNG but all the local stations are the same. Monday thru Friday news.
No subject matter
Most of the time there is only one or two stories. I am sure that there is more going on in Bingotown than you report.
No news being posted
Despite telling us to follow them on the app for the latest news, they do not update the stories on this app. It’s a pathetic waste of time unless you want to relook at news from a couple days ago. Just don’t expect any follow-up info.
Could do better for
Local crimes reported are quickly buried in the app. Sometimes within hours. Also app should be updated on the weekends. Nobody’s wants to see the same story from Friday all weekend
